Arnott's Tim Tam chocolate biscuit

Tim Tam is an iconic Australian chocolate biscuit first introduced by Arnott's in 1964. Named after the winning horse of the 1958 Kentucky Derby, the product consists of two malted biscuits separated by a light chocolate cream filling and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate. It has since become a cultural staple in Australia and a globally recognized snack.

While the brand remains deeply rooted in Australian heritage, its ownership has transitioned through several multinational corporations over the decades. Originally a family-owned Australian business, Arnott's was acquired by the American food giant Campbell Soup Company in the late 20th century. In 2019, the brand changed hands again when it was sold to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), a global investment firm.

Today, Tim Tam continues to be manufactured primarily at Arnott's factories in Sydney (Huntingwood), Brisbane (Virginia), and Adelaide (Marleston). Despite the international nature of its ultimate corporate ownership, the brand maintains its identity as an Australian classic, utilizing specialized production lines to maintain the specific texture and flavor profile that consumers expect from the original recipe.
